training for my first two tris

Hey KSH have you gone to a "real" running shop and had a good shoe fit? That may be the difference. A running shop will watch you run and analyze your foot strike. It sounds like a biomechanical thing to me.. Just my .02

Yea. After the pain popped up last year, I rushed out and bought new shoes from a real running shop. The pain went away, for a whole week.

I have gone to the Doctor... stopped running to heal... changed my form... but nothing seems to fix the problem. I feel like I will never be able to run again.

Ask your doctor for a referal to a pt who specializes in foot issues. I got one when my plantar fasciatis popped back up (first had it while pg with twins, then it recurred a few years later) the pt was able to do great things for me with massage, assisted stretching, exercises for me to do at home and some inexpensive shoe inserts - I didn't even have to go the orthotics route.
